== Formula template ==

[[User:NeilNjae]] and [[User:Audrey_Azura]] thanks for <nowiki>{{Template:Formula template}}</nowiki>!  I think standard templates are incredibly useful.

I don't think we should focus on recreating the printed book layout so much.  I've tried a few different things in [[Ars Magica 5E Standard Edition, Chapter Nine: Spells|Spells]], none seem to really work well.  You can see the template and my attempt here [[Ars_Magica_5E_Standard_Edition,_Chapter_Nine:_Spells#Level_Guidelines]] for some of the complexities.

My concerns
# We don't have the same column constraints as the text, so I think we should not stack the two parts, and have them horizontally next to each other.
# I really don't think both parts should be bold, and I'm going to change this so the 2nd part isn't bold.
# We need an anchor in the template so the Appendix II entries can link to it.
# It's probably too soon to be thinking about text decoration, but being in a template it's easy to change, very cool.

== Navboxes ==

I've asked the admins about other Mediawiki extensions and modules, and they responded that they are looking at Navbox and its dependencies.  In the meantime, what are everyone's thoughts about <nowiki>{{ArMOLsimplenav}}</nowiki>?

The admins have installed a bunch of stuff, including Navbox, thank you!

== Sidebars ==

What should be done about sidebars?  So far, I've been able to easily incorporate the sidebars into the main doc for Chapter 9 Spells.  Most of the time this has actually been better, since the sidebar content in Ch. 9 can be rather far from its related content.
